Transfer of Undertaking Protection of Employment

The sale or merger of businesses can be a particularly disruptive and uncertain time for all employees involved.  The success of a merger or acquisition will be achieved through transparency and communication.

This area of law is intended to protect transferring employees from suffering any detriment due to transfer of employment.  There can be some misunderstanding by employers in interpreting when the law actually applies, but as the adage states; ignorance of the law is no excuse.  An astute business person will see this as an opportunity to expand their labour force and broaden their skills base.  This is remarkable acumen in business matters. In a complex area of law we will help you to make shrewd business decisions.
